Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Hey Group. I changed me name' date=' I was Old Hippie Gal. Just wanted yall to know. School is going well. for a 56 yr old I am starting to feel younger and more girly. lol I think its because I am going to school with alot of young and girly girls. guess that is what happens when you go to beauty school. lol. I am doing very well in nail class. really got my sculptured nails down pretty good. all the cosmo girls are wanting me to do theirs lol So all is good. Glad all of you are doing so well. you are always in my prayers[/quote']

You look great. It's cool to change you're name but keep that bubbling personality the same.

I seem to be able to eat only 2 oz of meat and then I'm full. I am really curious as to, is this the norm? How much meat can you all eat before full. It doesn't leave room for anything else.

I would quote each of you but will take too long but thank you all who commented on my new name and pic. I am still old hippie gal. But i feel alot younger. And thinner. I know i still have quite a ways to go but i do feel good. And i thought changing the name would be more personal to all of you. Hey we have taking this journey together yall are all the support group i have and i have read your post even tho i may not comment on all of them i appreciate each of you more then you know. Thank you for being in my life and being with me. Xoxo

Gallbladder pain tonight. Ugh I hate it. Still have (sorry for this) diarrhea x 2 days. It's horrible. Any ideas for that other than Imodium AD. Everything I eat is running through me. I'm sorry all.

You look awesome!!!

I had my 3 month appointment Friday. I'm down 60lbs, I feel good for the most part. I still have a lot of nausea and carry zofran with me at all times. I don't enjoy eating at all. Which I guess isn't a bad thing. I have difficulty getting my protein in since I don't eat. I know I have to so usually drink protein drinks. Which my nutritionist said yesterday wasn't ideal but however I have to get it. I did my 1st 5k and had a blast. Already signed up for another!

Congrats on your weight loss! Sorry about the nausea and eating issues. Does the doctor have any answers about the nausea?

Hello ladies and gents. I haven't posted in the group in awhile. But I've been reading still. I've just been busy with work! I can not lose these 5 pounds. I want to be under 200 and the last 5 are killing me.

On another note I am doing good! Still haven't had any issues with dumping or nausea or anything but I don't eat anything over 5 grams of sugar. Gen I have a hard time with solid meats too but can eat more of other foods.

Liquid is still a pain and I haven't touched a protein drink since before surgery. I need help with vitamins. I'm not taking any. I want to know if someone can share what they take,brand an when they take it. Hair loss is happening a little bit.

Still sad and bitter over being single lol. I just want someone to talk to and like me for me.

How are y'all?
